I don’t have any of the new features like SD card browsing or zoom all the others. I use to have version 2 and try to update to version 4 but without success i suppose.

Aegon,

first download the zip file from the webshare that I put in post #4 of this thread.
Then upzip this file somewhere on your computer.
It should contain 8files:
boot.bin
kernel.bin
machine.dat
micro.bin
redboot.bin
rootfs.bin
update.dat
version.dat

Now connect your DR800 to your computer with the USB cable.
It should present itself as an external disc (just like a USB stick)
Navigate to the x:\system\ folder on the DR800 with your filemanager
Create a folder named "update" in the system folder
And copy the 8 files from the zip file to that folder.
So now there are 8 files in the x:\system\update\ folder

Do a "Safely Remove Hardware" of the DR800
Unplug the usb cable
The DR800 should automatically recognize the firmware update and start the update.

Due to a new user agreement for Wuala, I had to move the firmware files to a different location:

I believe that package is not latest official "v2.0rc4" update.

I think that is "DR800+" 3rd party firmware version by Iņigo. And that is sadly based on old "v2.0rc3" official update.

Apologies if I am wrong.

If I'm right though - would somebody still have the real latest "v2.0rc4" official update archive please ?

You can download last update from https://inigo.serna.eu/misc/update-dr800s-rc4new.zip

Much time has passed since then but I think last release of DR800+ was based on RC4, but I could be wrong.

Hope it helps

I took the information about DR800+ being based off RC3 from your post in a thread here.

It's based on IREX last code, version 2.0RC3.

Yes it did
Who would have thought I would still be using my Irex 800 in 2023.
And who would have thought I only now will find out about update with propper shutdown
